According to Wikipedia, "Control of the Tia Maria brand moved to Europe in 1987 when Allied–Lyons of the UK acquired Canadian spirits company Hiram Walker. The brand then became part of the Pernod Ricard portfolio in 2005 through its acquisition of rival firm Allied–Domecq. As part of a debt reduction programme, Pernod Ricard sold it to Illva Saronno in July 2009. Following the sale, Chivas Brothers produced it for Saronno before production was transferred to Illva Saronno's distillery in Saronno, Italy. Bacardi USA, Inc. distributed it in the US for Saronno. As of August 1, 2012, Kobrand became the distributor."
